One of my three DSH's, a black 9yo neutered male named Ted, recently started
licking the hair on his tummy excessively, leaving a large, downy area of
near-baldness. He also "scrubbed" a couple spots bald on his right foreleg.
I took Ted to the vet yesterday, and was told he doesn't have any...

When the time comes and I have to euthanize my cat, I would like to do
it in the kindest way. I think this would be a nice meal of tuna
juice and tuna with some morphine in the tuna juice.
I have been told that 5 mg of morphine should be enough and that my
cat would just fall asleep after eating...

Neighbor across the street often ties up his two little yappy dogs and
one large dog on his front porch. ANYTHING will set these guys off
barking, which doesn't seem to bother said neighbor. I have thoughts
of getting one of those silent dog whistles to see if it might make
any difference in...

Please help my research for cat food. =A0 Before lots of people started
feeding their cat commercial cat food, (crunchy type or canned food)
what were they feeding their cat?
Is there such a thing like a traditional "home made" cat food? =A0
If you were living with a cat/cats back in those days,...

I don't know if this is true or not, but I got this from another board:

"PETA: Triumph the Insult Comic Dog Dumps on Clay Aiken in New PETA

The article says:
"Triumph chose to make Clay Aiken the target of his humor in the ad, and...

My 14 week old kitten has recently begun to shiver or have tremors when
he lays down and begins to fall asleep. His entire boddy shakes
slightly as though he is shivering from cold. I have attempted to warm
him up by covering him with a blanket but this does not stop the
shivering.
He had his...

My question is, what are you all so frightened of that you have taken
such a defensive stand? You all seemed concerned that I am making all
kinds of money from my books and television radio shows. You insinuate
that all information in my books...

My 8 year old male cat has a swollen lower lip, right where it goes
into the hair part of his chin. Looking at him he seems to have more
of a pink part to his mouth and pulling back the lip you can see this
swelling. I've added a link to a photo of another cat with where it is
outlined in...

Cheeky has asthma--presented with it the day I brought her home from
the shelter. Very scary attacks which we control with shots. I wait
as long as I can i.e. until she coughs or sniffles, to take her in
because I know that steroid use can cause diabetes and a host of other
problems. She is...

My cat is 16 yrs. old and for the past several months constantly
throws up. The vet did some blood work and his sugar was a little
high, which she attributed to the stress of the visit. His kidney
function is slowing down a bit and now she wants to take a urine
sample. She has changed his food...

I have a conventional box spring and mattress that I am looking to replace
because it is just too hard.
I'd like to know if anyone knows any ways that I can reliably cat-proof the
new mattress so that my two cats, both of which have their claws, don't
sharpen their claws on it the way they did...

Hi there - I've had a good look though the archives, but thought I
would try this on some of the regular contributors.
I have a 6 year old female Burmilla, ex show cat (champion, no less !)
and breeding queen, but now a one cat indoor family (spayed). I've
been happily owned by my kitty for about...

I just read a book called "Food Pets Die For" and it is horrifying!!!
This woman did an extensive study about the ingredients which go into
cat and dog food. Almost all of the major brands include euthanized
cats and dogs in their formula, as well as all of the spoiled and
diseased parts of animals...

I own 2 cats. They are both 13 years old. One cat is has developed a
very boney spine. I mean that one cat has a lot more meat and its
harder to detect his spine. The other has only a thin layer of skin
and you can fell his spine. Is this a disease anybody is aware off?I
appreciate any...

For about the umpteenth time Liz, please provide us with the
commercial foods you think have fewer grains than the comparable
Hill's product. I know I have asked you for this many times before
and
you always refuse to answer. The constant lack of an answer seems
to
prove you have an...

Hello there,
My cat Misha is 40 days pregnant today. Everything is going very good. She
seems happy, she "talks" and purrs as much as she always did. She's been
more quiet in the sence that she doesn't play so much or climb the cat tree
so much anymore but I would imagine that is normal. I called...

I have been asking a lot of questions, but please bear with me!
My latest is: Is there such a thing as "cat whistle", something cats
can hear and humans can't. (Similar to what's available for dogs.)
Sometimes we have to go looking for our cat, who may be hiding who
knows where. It is quite a...
